This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

A typical working year is approximately 2,000 hours, just for context.

That is nuts.

I know I guy that put Overwatch among his experiences. It was for an IT position and he contextualyzed it as some kind of acquired soft skill.

I only have 16,000 hours on record for Eve online. it's ok I guess, not sure I'd recommend it.

That amount of work would qualify you as a master tradesman in many fields.

A typical apprenticeship is 6-8k

I leveled up my Excel skill because of EVE, so that could be a legit resume entry unoe. (Not because the Overview is a giant table, I mean, I made an actual spreadsheet for Jita trading 😂).

I know WoW guild leaders that turned that experience into a resume point. "Managed a large group of disconnected people to accomplish group tasks"

If they can pull that off then you can pull this one.
